Configure a Docker volume to preserve the information of the test session

[win5923]

I am using appium-docker-android and install the Appium Dashboard plugin. I would like to know where the detailed information of each session is stored because every time I restart, the data of the test session disappears. I want to set up a Docker volume to ensure that my test data and video records do not disappear. Can you tell me how to set it up? Thank you.

The default location where the data and videos will be stored is under

1. Mac /Users/<username>/.cache/appium-dashboard-plugin
2. Linux /home/<username>/.cache/appium-dashboard-plugin

You can mount the above directory as a volume to hostmachine while starting the docker container. Refer stackoverflow thread for more details on docker mounting.

On the host machine can you change the permission of the mounted directory sudo chown -R 1001:1001 <dir path> and try again
